11 Belgrave Road, S.W. - Should have written earlier to confirm receipt of his part in Trevelyan's play ["Fand"], but has been very busy 'learning hundreds of lines of verse'' for a recital at the Victoria and Albert Museum organised by the League of Arts [for National and Civic Ceremony]; this is now 'mercifully over' and he is now free for rehearsal any time over the next fortnight; will then go to Norwich for an open air performance of [Shakespeare and Fletcher's] "Henry VIII", returning around 5 July.

34 Victoria Road, Swindon, Wilts. - Apologises for not replying sooner: has changed her address and Trevelyan's letter has been 'following [her] about'. Knows she sent her copy of Trevelyan's 'Cuchulain play' ["Fand"] back last September or October; hopes he finds a copy, and is sorry she did not keep hers; remembers 'returning it reluctantly from Weston-Super-Mare'. Margaret Rawlings (Mrs Toyne) is playing in "Caviare" at the Little Theatre in the Adelphi; Hubert Langley played the Yew Tree, she does not know where he is currently, but he sometimes acts at the Lyric, Hammersmith. She toured last spring with the "Misdoings of Charley Peace" [by Edward Percy] and played the lead in [Mary Pendered's] "The Quaker on 10 November, which examined 'the Friends' attitude towards the right to kill'. Acted in [Anthony Merryn's] "The Undiscovered Country" at the Players' Theatre, a 'most interesting part', though she fears the 'play was rather dull'. Very kind of Trevelyan to say he will send her a copy of the play [his "Fand", in which she acted in 1929] when it is published; will 'treasure it dearly'; asks if he can sign it. Note by address saying that this is where her 'People' [parents] live and will always work as an address for her.
